RE: PSA: PLEASE READ
I am going to try again.

A forum member asked staff if they could post a video that had no reason except to use a specific racial slur. That member was told that would be breaking a rule. After a short time out they came back and posted another video with the sole purpose of using the above-mentioned slur.

Please feel free to disagree.

So, since I was first informed of this rule (four years ago), I've very been very circumspect about posting videos of rap songs (at least the ones that use the N-word) or otherwise apropos clips from The Boondocks that use it. I take it that my erring on the side of caution was me having the right idea?

No means no.

What about an artistic music video where a black guy uses the word?

This isn't a new issue here. The PSA was a reminder.

I think the words - zero tolerance - are fairly clear.

What if you receive a legal notice directly from the rapper stating you're not allowed to censor his music?
